Default Looking for someone to make me some parts...

They're not conceptually complicated machines, but not something
thrown together from off-the-shelf parts, either.


Commercial ones. But the implication was that he built this
himself, not
very precisely.

Unless he has a foundry out back, likely he used stock parts.

He also made obeisance to the OP of the fact that it wasn't very
precise,
just "smooth".

You did read all that, right? Your comment was in that context?

Lloyd


I couldn't tell how precise it is. He showed me his projects after I
asked for help with parts for my homebrew hydraulic bucket loader. The
guy is well regarded and very busy during snowplowing and construction
seasons.

Why do you have to belittle the accomplishments you haven't seen of
people you don't know?
